On August 17, 1870 Hazard Stevens and Philemon Beecher Van Trump accomplished the first recorded ascent of Mount Rainier. Twenty years later Fay Fuller, a teacher from Yelm, Washington became the first woman to climb the peak. Today nearly 10,000 people attempt to climb to the summit of Mount Rainier, with less than 50% successful. Each climber must register with the rangers and pay a climbing fee. The round trip climb usually takes two days from Paradise to the summit and back

In 1870 two climbers reached the summit. There names were Hazard Stevens and P.B. Van Trump. Both of these men experienced the normal elation of their success and after wards the ecstasy turn to depression.

It is often noted that when we plan and plan on doing a thing and finally accomplish it, there is a sort of let down. Like 'what do I do now that can be as great as this?"

What's really interesting is what we DO following these events. Both men went on to other events but have you heard of them? No....but THEY DID SOMETHING others had never done before and that is what mattered to them.

Yeah, listening for a million week to a similar stuff approximately those climbers is very uninteresting. yet hi, it is an ordinary way for the information people to get visitors, so in the event that they get money, then they're going to keep working "sensational" thoughts. As for Iraq, nicely, we've been listening to approximately that for a pair of years now, so because it extremely is form of stale too. The explosions at the instant are not something new, however the section that does substitute is the political difficulty there.
